N2KHL orange have 'given' away phones worth more than the iphone in the past if you are on the right deal etc etc I have never paid for a phone in the past few years and all have been smartphones of some description i would hope i wouldnt have to pay for an iphone either !!!
Yep the question wouldn't be whether Orange could/would subsidise the handset (as the answer to that would be easy), the question is more whether Apple will let them do that as the other manufacturers do.
The problem for Apple is that if iPhone pricing goes the way of normal mobile phones, they will be screwed in terms of the iPod Touch as there would be absolutely no reason to buy it.

look at mac mini - macbook - macpro..
it will be free, on certain tarrifs, just like it is on o2. upgrades will be based on partly on ARPU and COST price of phone. this can be very diff to the retail place and in some cases the retail can be less than the costs based on revenue share deals, as is the current o2/apple deal.
retail loses on each iphone contract that is sold but there are revenue share deals based on arpu that give 'commission' back. some of this is based on airtime and some based on app sales..
the iphone changed the face of how the mobile industry and manufacturers prices and retains a continuous revenue stream.
just look at vodaphone 360 to see how they influenced the marketplace

most retention teams now have a 'ceiling'.. i hope you get what your after but i have found that even retention teams have there limits now..

In Western Europe, revenue per connection has been falling by 5.4% over the last three years hence the decline in handsets for free and poorer upgrade deals.

redz most retention teams now have a 'ceiling'.. i hope you get what your after but i have found that even retention teams have there limits now..
Yep I found this out when I upgraded, in the past I've been able to any handset for free on a 12 month contract, this year I had to pay £50 for the phone but still on a 12 month contract so not a huge issue.
I'm not denying anything you've said as it's all been correct, but the simple truth is that if there's no agreement then Orange and O2 will surely start a pricing war to make sure one sells more units than the other.
Obviously this isn't in Apple's best interests though so I'm sure they've done something to prevent it.

the iphone was only exclusive to O2 in this country and Orange already offers it in 28 other countries, one idea is have a look abroad at the deals offered on both Orange and O2 and see how they compare, if Orange give better deals there then they may do here when we get it
i'm waiting for the Nokia N900 tho and thats available for pre-order direct from Nokia now
being as I work for Orange I feel I should offer a couple of words too
